gnuplot darwin: optional gnuplot_aquaterm variant

This variant uses the more Mac-friendly aqua driver, but it requires
that you separately install the AquaTerm package.

Note that AquaTerm is open source and could perhaps be later included
as a nix derivation. If that happens, it would be nice to remove the
gnuplot_aquaterm top-level attribute and just make it the default.
